12.  Compile up-to-date, community-level, baseline information for measuring future regulatory impacts on:  Local and regional socioeconomic conditions  Local and regional demographic trends  Nature and extent of local and regional involvement in fishing, oil/gas, tourism, other industries  Social and economic relationships between Gulf communities  Use, and by extension availability, of inshore, near-shore, and offshore marine resources for commercial and recreational purposes  Fishing and marine-specific service and physical infrastructure  Socio-cultural aspects of life in Gulf communities Intend to repeat Elements of the Survey to assess losses of Infrastructure Socio-Economic Assessments

13. Ongoing NOAA Operations & Studies Monitoring of SEAWiFS and Shipboard Samples for potential HAB Outbreaks resulting from Karenia brevis (current HAB off West Florida) Hydrodynamic Models being Run at AMOL (OAR) to forecast materials distribution and to direct sampling Plan for Sustained Ops. For Contaminants Monitoring being Worked Out Plan for Analyzing Samples and Reporting to the Public being Finalized Wetlands Loss Analysis being Undertaken by NOS and NMFS Impacts on Abundance and Distribution of fishes, crabs and shrimps to be assessed in ongoing bottom trawl cruises in October Coordination of Activities with COE, USGS, EPA, and NSF
